Get ready for a whole lot of Blue Steel-ing! News about* 2oolander *is coming in thick and fast detailing what really, really ridiculously good looking model Derek Zoolander is up to 15 years on. Here's everything we know about the movie so far.

Penelope Cruz on working with Kate Moss

Zoolander 2 has to be one of the most cameo-packed films in Hollywood history, featuring fashion insiders like Anna Wintour, designers like Valentino and Marc Jacobs and some of the world's biggest models, including our very own Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. You can watch Penelope Cruz discuss working with Kate in the clip above.

The Zoolander 2 UK premiere

The ridiculously good-looking stars of Zoolander 2 descended upon Leicester Square last night to walk the blue carpet at the film's British premiere. Ben Stiller revealed that producing the sequel was very different to making the original movie, as this time there was 'a lot more participation from people, especially from the fashion industry.' Co-star Will Ferrell (who plays evil super-villain Mugatu) added: 'That's the irony of this movie [...] 15 years ago, you couldn't get anyone in the fashion world to come close to it because they were so afraid of being made fun of.'

And how did the team manage to drum up such an amazing cast of cameo characters? Largely thanks to Ben Stiller's extensive phone book, apparently. According to Justin Theroux, 'Poor beleaguered Ben - his dialling finger was getting calloused [...] It was always Ben having to call in the favour.' You can learn more about the making of Zoolander 2 in the full clip below.

Derek Zoolander has a walk-off with Cara Delevingne

It looks like Derek has found a new walk-off nemesis, and it's none other than a certain Cara Delevingne, who gives the really, really good looking male model a run for his money in this short Instagram video.

Kristen Wiig plays a terrifying plastic surgeon

Kristen Wiig has undergone a terrifying transformation in a teaser clip introducing her character, Alexanya Atoz, the surgically modified ‘beauty guru’ behind the House of Atoz Beauty Laboratory. Her, ahem, youthful good looks are supposedly down to her hydrating ‘Youth Milk’ moisturising lotion - and definitely not the result of fillers and facelifts. Speaking in a bizarre and almost completely unintelligible accent, she pronounces that ‘When you look old, you feel sad. When you look young, you feel happy.’ An aphorism worthy of Derek Zoolander himself.

Will Katy Perry be making a cameo?

Last year in July, Katy Perry announced she was taking a break from her Prismatic World Tour to film "a little cameo" in Rome - where 2oolander just happened to be filming at the time. Now there's more evidence she has a secret part in the movie, as she posted an Instagram which sees her singing Frankie Goes To Hollywood song 'Relax' - which fans of the movie will remember was the tune used to brainwash Derek in the first movie. Ben Stiller himself then makes an appearance to ask her to cut it out.

This is all the confirmation we need that she appears in the film.

The other celebrity cameos

The second movie about the self-confessed #1 male model in the world features cameos from Penelope Cruz, Kristen Wiig, Justin Bieber and Benedict Cumberbatch. Benedict plays Zoolander and Hansel's new rival, All - as the boys are under attack in the fashion world for being too "old".

Watch the trailer below to see the* Sherlock* favourite with long locks and bleached eyebrows - the transformation really is a sight to behold. You can also see Penelope Cruz in action in her role as an interpol agent, trying to stop the "world's most beautiful models" getting killed, and Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig as the bad guys.

Spoiler alert: Justin Bieber dies.

Hansel and Zoolander walk the Valentino catwalk

Ever since Derek Zoolander (aka Ben Stiller) made a comeback at Valentino's Autumn Winter 2015 show we've been willing another glimpse of our favourite really, really ridiculously good looking male model strutting his stuff. And in a teaser trailer for the upcoming movie posted to Zoolander's Instagram, we see him and Hansel (Owen Wilson) strutting down a runway in personalised cufflinks and Valentino sunglasses - well, of course - before doing a perfectly coordinated robot dance.

Zoolander 2 will hit cinemas on February 12.
